Enhancing stimulated Raman excitation and two-photon absorption using entangled states of light

We find that stimulated Raman excitation of an atom by a two-photon pulse can be enhanced by orders of magnitude if the photons are simultaneously frequency correlated and spatially anticorrelated. That is, a correlated photon pair must have an inherent time delay between its constituent photons. Th...
